Just a clarification, it is not technology that is installed in new apartments, my front door is 50 years old and is exactly the same

[SheratanLP]

The American door is just ridiculous. I wouldn't even install it in a shed. One hit with a hammer on the door handle and the thing is open. European burglars would be lying dead in front of the "door" in droves because they would laugh themselves to death.

[haukegebhardt]

american houses are build of cardboard, if you put a solid door in it, i would laugh, because do get in your house all you need is punch the wall, 1 punch 2 punch 3 punch and the wall is gone your inside. you don t need a door thast srong you need do build houses that are srtong

[gundalfthelost]

My house was built in 1966 here in Sweden and it does indeed have one of these "security doors" as we call them. So it's nothing new. Only difference is mine has four deadbolts by the handle, two up top, two at the bottom. And like all doors in Sweden, it opens outwards. So forget kicking or ramming it in. Of course, being a house there are way easier places to enter like the windows (standard triple plane glass) but I know for a fact apartments also have similar doors which makes more sense since they also provide fire-protection. A quick google search tells me that the "standard" safety door installed in almost all new apartments since 2002 is rated to withstand direct flame for a minimum of 30 minutes in 1000°F/600°C.

[southsidesisters]

It's absolutely correct, I have this kind of door and everybody I know has the same in their houses! Italy here,

[percentsure]

that's not a new tech door. When she said that those are doors in a new apartment building she meant it was a standart most basic door, cheapest door. You can see neighbours door is the same. You can get others with more features (like you said that locks automaticly without a key, etc.). As for new american door in new buildings, those are as she showed in USA. I've seen apartment tours here on youtube and all have those thin doors with/without deadbolt.

[Pawel_Mrozek]

17:47 This is not fancy technology but just standard for any average apartment door. Exactly the same type of door is in my apartment that I bought 12 years ago and it was nothing fancy then in Poland. The old type door in older apartments are usually wooden double doors with many different locks at the same time.

[RemplacementTV]

i don't understand how americans who are obsessed with safety and private property have such low safety installations, doesn't make any sense

[Brian]

Here in England my front and back doors are steel frame with PVC covering, side frame also steel. Door has single lock, key operated. To lock lift handle with operates additional side bolts near top and bottom. To unlock use key and push lever down. You'll not kick or push that open without great force.

[alicetwain]

At least in the cities, in Italy 80% of the apartments have that kind of door. The earliest were installed some 60 years ago. Some have safety keys that come all the way from Germany. I just had one of those keys done for the mom of a friend, the single key costed 80 euro! (I have a cheaper key that costs around 12-15 euro.)

[Sun-YiReyko]

Im in Spain and all doors are like this. No modern building. Actually this building is from the 70's.

[zhardoum]

The thing to remember is a lot of housing in Europe is in apartment blocks, going in through the window when its 10 floors up is not an easy thing. Typically the front door is the only way in or out.

Where i live i have a normal house in a street, there are 3 bolts in the middle of the door, 3 at the top corner and 3 at the bottom, when that sucker is locked.. it is properly locked.. the other thing is a lot of the houses are no where near neighbours out in the countryside, when thieves turn up they come in groups of 2 or 3 guys with crowbars and a stolen van, if they do get in they are not stealing your tv, they take the sofa, the fridge, the chairs you name it.. or more often as not, do not steal anything, they move in as squatters and just take over the house. Then they steal everything and what is not stolen is trashed and getting them out can take years.

The idea of the secure doors we have is not to stop the thieves, it is to slow them down for long enough for the police to arrive.

You think the doors are bad?, you should see how much effort it takes to get through the triple glazed windows secured by bolts 4” deep..

[thedutchhuman]

Well, in Europe you don't just kick in a door 1, 2, 3 (also applies to walls that are not made of plasterboard) . When houses are renovated here (the Netherlands) they now have plastic frames (the Germans had that before) and they are also well secured compared to the previous type of doors/frames and especially compared to the American doors. And in the Netherlands you generally have fixed door handles on the outside because of the sensitivity to burglary and that no one can just walk in without you noticing... so first ring the bell or knock here. and so every country has its own style of doors...
and in general we don't have ''vault doors'' like those in Croatia 😂....it is VERY exaggerated for a front door unless you live in a violent/criminal neighborhood/city

[TheVAR]

I can buy the cheapest door in Norway and will be 100 times stronger than any door from the USA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[JoséMiguelPéAr]

And I would add that most exterior doors do not have a handle or knob to open them, but you need a key to do so.

[raderadumilo]

That one has lens also. Standard in Europe. Additionally, that door has metal frame, wood surfaces on the outside, but on the inside it has sound insulation also. These kind of doors started becoming popular in Croatia (and the entire former Yugoslavia) in the 90s. Before that it would be door more similar to that American door. They would be of thick wood with handle and one bolt lock (beneath the handle). What people used to do was to install additional bolt lock above the handle.

[dooley-ch]

Actually in Europe most household insurance require three point deadlocks and the ground floor windows are also reenforced as well.

[jabo]

In the Netherlands in most new houses we have at least 3 point lock. The lock at the door handle and 2 bolts coming out when you turn the key a second time (30cm and around 185cm). The doors are from aluminium or wood mostly. We have a water barrier at the bottom of the door so water doesn't drop inside(like a quarter of a 10 cm pole

[Preyfr]

*Laughs behind it's standard "steel frame 5-points lock" door in his french flat.*

[gerbentvandeveen]

The material door is olso fire prov.
I, have 3 steel doorfrems for inside of my house. In the Netherlands it's normal. And the factory that make this is a local factory. That olso makes parts for the car industry, BWM AUDI VW. In Bunschoten-Spakenburg the Netherlands.
